Executive Summary:
The Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women was established by the Board of Supervisors in 1975, charged with the task of eliminating discrimination and prejudice on the basis of sex in the areas of education, employment, health, housing, community services and other related fields. The Commission is requesting Board approval of its 2018-2020 Biennial Report.
Discussion:
The Commission continues to discuss and re-addressed priorities, goals and commitments to the women and girls in Sonoma County and their ability to meet the goals of the Commission. Mindful of limited human power, the Commission has chosen to focus on a few key goals for the upcoming year.
The Commission held a strategic planning session late October 2018 to determine the goals and focuses for the near future. During the meeting, the Commission concluded our efforts will be limited to three key areas during 2018 - 2020:
1. Empowering women to enter public service through volunteerism and election
2. Voices of Sonoma County Women Project where live listening sessions will be conducted throughout the county as well as online and paper surveys documenting the primary issues women are experiencing locally
3. Promoting the efforts and work of the Commission through a more intense marketing plan
The Commission continues to provide meaningful oversight in Sonoma County regarding issues affecting women and girls. The Commission looks forward to reaching out to the community to learn what issues are directly impacting women and girls in this County and being able to present that information, not only to the Board of Supervisors, but to the rest of the County as well. We are honored to be a part of this Commission and look forward to the work we have ahead of us.
